i'm not bullshit

that's the very nice compliment i was given tonight. (-:

i was subbing for another teacher. who i actually think is a very good teacher. and i think his students do too. but i was there tonight and since i wasn't left any plans due to the last minute arrangements, i proceeded as i thought best. and it seems i was appreciated.

it was a good evening. good questions, people contributing, people working together to come to solutions. lightbulbs going off above heads. and all that.

and i was out and out thanked by each of the students. for breaking it all down. for addressing individual issues. for allowing all to partcipate and practice without feeling threatened.

and one lady told me "xxxxx, thank you, you're not bullshit. i'm really started to get some of this stuff tonight. thanks to the way you took us through everything step by step. "

and it feels good. to not be bullshit.
